Many people here complain about the bad coffee symptoms. I'm sure some people are just plain incompatible with caffeine, but it is likely that most of this incompatibility is with the artifacts of low quality coffee.

http://www.bulletproofexec.com/coffee/ sells good quality coffee (supposedly, I've never tried but have heard it praised by people I trust). The site has a lot of info about how to tell good coffee from bad.

(And .. do try the butter coffee. It's a great upgrade on any coffee)

That is up to the games - they can choose to hook into Steam's API for that DRM, or roll their own DRM (or both, thank you Ubisoft), or they can ship without any protection.
Having seen whistle-blowing cases play out, there's never a socially "acceptable" to raise this sort of issue. No matter when you do it, people will say that you were "emotional", blew the whistle "too soon" (oblivious to the failed negotiations they didn't see) and "bit the hand".

In Hollywood movies, people like whistleblowers.

Unfortunately, in real life, whistleblowers almost always get a negative reception, even from people who are supposed to be neutral because they have no obvious interest. (People just don't like bad news, full stop.) And the discussion usually gets to a smear against how they are saying it (status reduction) rather than what they are saying. The goal is to create the appearance that: (a) this person didn't go through proper channels, and (b) therefore isn't worth listening to, and (c) deserves various unrelated adverse consequences (such as being blacklisted from future employment) that will make it harder to concentrate from the case at hand.

You're right that her employment opportunities in the future are damaged by this. That's the reality of the world we live in. It shouldn't be that way, but powerful people tend to protect their own.

Ha yes, totally agreeing ...

The worst part of that is when overtaking ... a traditional Dutch driver will only look to see if he has the place to go, not if the car coming at the back is much faster than him/her.

So you end up with a lot of braking when driving on the left-most lane. The "funniest" is to see that happening with Dutch drivers outside the Netherlands ... because drivers from other countries are not used to that behavior :) (disclaimer : I live in NL, but I'm not Dutch and did not learn to drive in the Netherlands)

I really don't feel this is a good fit. Steam is not particularly great software, it's just one of the best ways to get games onto your machine. It has a lot of competition in the general software market, and plus it doesn't really feel like we need another one.

What really kills it for me, though, is that Steam's model just does not fit software. Want to edit a document on your PC, but left Steam open on your laptop? Well, you've got to walk over to your PC and log out first. That's a (barely) acceptable trade-off for games, but for productivity software it's a ludicrous proposition.
Hi Arek,
This is exactly what we think as well. Without an engaged community of quality contributors we won't go anywhere and this is our only priority.
I love your ideas, thank you for sharing them. One problem we face with convincing bloggers is the mental barrier of them thinking that people are just going to read the tl;dr and not the whole content. We believe that the reverse is actually more likely and are starting to aggregate data to back this claim up.

There is no real use for the data right now (apart from a few countries with anti-download laws)

Since we're talking about torrents, (almost) every downloader is also an uploader, so there's plenty of recorded evidence of copyright infringement, and the RIAA has already sent thousands of threatening letters. But it's still a drop in a bucket compared to the dozens of millions of file sharers in the US alone.
I stand corrected, I had the institutional and retail kinds mixed up. I still don't think it's "good", though :)

Deutsche Telekom. They use 850MHz AFAIK. o2 and Vodafone use 800MHz (and I think maybe another band).

http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/

The European iPhone 5 does 2100/1800/850.

Deutsche Telekom does not offer LTE on prepaid plans. Their minimum contract length is 24 months, and auto-renews for another year at the end of the 24 months. It is not cancellable within the last 90 days of the 24 month period, so if you don't remember to cancel at or before 21 months, you are on the hook for 36 months.

It's also something like 70€/mo for 2GB of LTE. :(

How many people need to tell you you're wrong? Google "smartphone 2007" and take a look at the iPhone's competition at the time. The iPhone was leaps and bounds ahead because it focused on the features more users care about most. It's no coincidence that the other smartphones of 2007 look like ancient relics and the iPhone looks like a modern phone.

Sure, Apple's marketing is better than that of their competitors. But good marketing and good products aren't mutually exclusive.

That said, since the original iPhone, the updates have gotten increasingly incremental, and the competitors have closed the gap.

The ES6 draft spec now includes the (maximally minimal) class spec that was hashed out at the July TC 39 meeting. You can read the spec here: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:specification... and see some examples here: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:maximally_mi...

There's a cool project, Harmonizr (https://github.com/jdiamond/harmonizr) which transpiles ES6 to ES5, which you can leverage to start using classes, modules, arrow syntax, etc. now. Demo: http://jdiamond.github.com/harmonizr/demo/demo.html

I slightly agree with your argument considering ICANN's recent launch of new gTLD .google .apple and .onandonandon (which are actually creating artificial virtual real estate), this i would say is just a unique way to get more money.

However, .edu domains and other similar domains are specific for Marketing purposes and give websites a separate identity in a specific domain.

It's not even close. At work I run Python, Eclipse, Coq, various Linux and in general a lot of real Open Source software of a variety of licenses. Apparently I cannot use Z3, be it sources or binary, as my company happens to have commercial intentions.

Bill and Melinda Gates foundation are funding Khanacademy and are excited about many sites like them, with technology we can answer more questions faster and help teachers focus on answering important questions while not repeating menial ones.
You are absolutely correct. Ive seen local whistle blowers get seriously mangled for decades...

How  to do Source Control Really, Really Wrong
Since we're talking about pagination and article lengths, I'd like to take this opportunity to voice my #1 annoyance with unpaginated (and some paginated) articles: the comment section.

I'm perfectly able and quite willing to approximate my progress with reading an article by observing the scroll bar. However, since the advent of social, I find I can rarely trust that information, since the comment section adds an additional multiple to the page length. I often find myself going on a pgdn adventure to figure out the length of the article I've been reading for ten minutes.

Would it really be so awful if the dozen pages of commentary were collapsed behind a "show comments" or "show more comments" button? I want my progress indicator back.

Do You Want a Celebrity Endorser?
Yes, but is a 7" tablet a absolutely awful substitute for a iPod touch? It probably is since it wouldn't be as portable(who is going to strap a tablet to their arm to go running), but in the history of small, smaller, smallest iPods has the next size down ever been priced the same as its big brother? As far as I can remember the smaller ones have always been cheaper.

Why is it a bad idea to require recognition before handing out an .edu domain? As stated earlier people implicitly trust those domains and emails coming from them, and it would be downright dangerous to let untrustworthy nations hand them out to anyone.

Vim can run in "compatible" mode (Vi-like settings) or "nocompatible" mode (Vim-like settings).

:set nocompatible

is used to switch Vim from "compatible" mode to "nocompatible" mode.

A lot of people put it at the top of their .vimrc, usually together with a comment telling that it's needed for many options and features to work correctly.

But Vim actually switches itself to "nocompatible" mode if it finds a vimrc. It can be the default vimrc in /usr/share/vim/vim7x/ or your own .vimrc, it doesn't matter.

You can test this by removing this line from your .vimrc, launching another Vim instance and doing :set compatible? With or without that line, you'll get nocompatible.

Having this line in your .vimrc essentially does nothing: it sets something "on" that was already "on". As such it's useless cruft but it is not dangerous.

The real problem with it is that it demonstrates a dangerous cargo cult trend among Vim users who copy/paste entire vimrcs from Github or top ranking blog posts without thinking about it for a second. Because this line and the comment appeared in a rather famous blog post(1) by a rather famous vimmer it's now just… everywhere.

I have a lot of respect for Steve Losh and I absolutely don't blame him for including this line in his post: it's useless but harmless so there's no big deal. I certainly have a lot of useless redundant stuff in my .vimrc, too. And I'm totally guilty of using his whole .vimrc verbatim when I started.

But all the people who copied this line from him or from others who copied it from others who copied it from him (who probably copied it from someone else, why not?) should show a little less lazyness, I believe. And a more critical mind.

You seem to have a VERY narrow definition of commercial use which involves selling software or being a software service provider. There are a vast majority of companies manufacturing/distributing/retailing and providing services for whom the GPL imposes no restriction at all. The MS release seems to prevent all commercial use not just commercial redistribution/binary release making it a FAR broader restriction than the GPL.

For MS and a surprisingly small (in terms of total global economy) number of other businesses selling closed source software (or software dependent on other non-Free software components) the GPL imposes very real restrictions.

I would argue that they are in no way arbitrary but have a clear purpose and objective to further increase the amount of Free software in the world. You may or may not support or want to assist this objective but it certainly doesn't feel arbitrary to me (I've taken the 'capricious; unreasonable; unsupported' definition of arbitrary from Dictionary.com as my interpretation of your meaning).

Edit/reply:

Can't reply to you for some reason. No citation but you have missed my point. I wasn't comparing Open Source Industry to closed source software industry but really the software industry to ALL Other industries (and individuals) in the world. Basically software consumers rather than producers (of which closed source companies like MS form a large part).

> We had everything he said back then - it was just rather bulky. It's not a visionary statement - it's logic.

> I wish everyone would stop harping on about Jobs - he was a marketing expert not a visionary.

Yes, in hindsight it's all so logical. Anybody could have done it, Apple was simply the first to redefine the MP3 market, the digital music distribution market, the phone market, the mobile app market, the laptop market, the tablet market, all by chance. And marketing of course. Marketing and chance, there ain't nothing more to it. Just like founding NeXT, only to buy it 10 years later to create a whole new operating system and foundation of frameworks to program it, agile enough to run on hardware ranging from smartphones to workstations, it was all Jobs' marketing genius. The same marketing genius that founded Pixar, and had Intel scrambling to pay the traditional PC manufacturers to produce the PC equivalents of MacBook Airs.

Really, Steve Jobs and Apple are all.marketing, no doubt about it... :-/

That's completely justified. Although they're obviously both bad, harming the national war effort is far more dangerous than racism against a subgroup of citizens. The number of lynchings of black Americans doesn't even come close to the casualties suffered in WWI.

I was interested in the piece until he used the unnecessarily value-laden term "afraid of change". He could have said "wary of change" or something even less judgemental.

He also exaggerates the differences to make a point and comes over as a little too fan-boyish on the whole matter.

I do think there's a core of truth in the observation but he glosses over times where the Rails Team's attitude to change has caused genuine pain to the community as well as times where innovation has come from the Python web-framework community.

Are you familiar on how you can use SAT solvers to solve a wide variety of constraint problems?

https://github.com/hugomg/hexiom

SMT solvers basically extend SAT solvers to allow you to work directly with other theories (linear inequalities, bit arrays, etc) without being forced to encode this as the booloean formulas that basic SAT understand. The idea is that dealing with the higher level details directly instead of having to convert tihngs to a commo low level makes it simpler to express things and can also allow for custumized optimizations and algorithms?

The only time I've received help with someone "more powerful" was my mentor in business. I never seek money, but wanted advice that I could apply, I guess when he saw this it made him interested in helping me and that's how our relationship developed. I was offered the opportunity to get mentored without directly asking, however, I always took note of what he said reported my results. I think seeing someone actually listen/apply and report back on how your advice influenced them is all beneficial for some as well. In some cases I see myself as his experiment to see if all his business theories are right, in others I think he sees himself in me and in turn is helping himself through that. People like others who are like themselves.

"The secondary problem here, which is more in tune with the original article, is that the US government "assumes" ownership and control of generic TLDs as a God given right."

Well, they did create the whole system (or funded it, at least).

"I'm happy to see lots of generic TLDs being used rather than geographical ccTLDs, but just not in the hands of one country."

There's nothing to prevent the creation of new TLDs managed however you want (and in fact quite a few have been so created). It's a hassle, and expensive, but that just strengthens the point. The U.S. government (and its fundees) went through the hassle and expense of creating .com, .edu, and the others (and indeed the Internet itself). Why do you feel that others have some sort of moral right to chunks of those namespaces?
